About Me

I am an American certified teacher, who has lived and worked in China for nearly eight years. I will seek a new contract in July of 2019. I would like to either teach in public school or a training school.

While the salary for English teachers in China starts around $2,500 with no previous experience. That is a dream if I ever heard one. No experience and someone gets 15,000 rmb? I've lived here almost eight years and if your getting that much money and have no experience, you're teaching kindergarten. Full Comment>>

I know three foreigners who have bought houses and 1 who bought and owns a training school.....Actually, they could not buy them by themselves, they had to have their Chinese wives parents buy them and of course pay them back. I did buy a car in my own name, but that's a totally different matter. Full Comment>>

My question is would my current employer allow me to leave at least 30 days prior to my visa expiring? This is great for schools who would get out having to pay a bonus to their employees. My last contract expired on June 30th. My contract expired on July 9th. I didn't get my bonus because of this. Full Comment>>
